Yeah, you read that right. Hyundai is bringing a pickup truck to the U.S. for the first time ever.

The truck is based on the Santa Cruz concept, which debuted at the Detroit Auto Show back in 2015. The South Korean automaker is hoping that this truck, along with a new seven-passenger crossover to replace the Santa Fe, will help it bounce back from its recent sales slump.

Also on the agenda for Hyundai is a redesign of the Santa Fe Sport sometime next year, along with a redesigned Tucson by 2020.

It looks like one of Fiat Chrysler’s most profitable brands may have found a buyer. Chinese automaker Great Wall Motors, according to the Associated Press, is considering making a bid for the off-roading-focused brand. Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has bluntly stated that the Italian-American conglomerate cannot sustain itself much longer without a larger partnership.

Of the seven brands under Fiat Chrysler’s wing, Jeep has consistently been a profit-driver, along with Ram trucks. CEO Marchionne has said that Jeep and Ram are strong enough to stand on their own, so if no bidders come to nibble at the other brands, currently floundering to stay afloat, they may not be around much longer.

Expect this 600-horsepower V8 to hit showrooms in the spring next year.

Video: Porsche pushes the 2018 Cayenne to its limits

Porsche tested the redeveloped Cayenne all around the world in almost every environment imagineable.

Some automakers put testing mules of upcoming models through their paces to ensure they meet standards ahead of their release. Porsche, however, wanted to push its upcoming 2018 Cayenne to its absolute limits in some of the most extreme climates in the world before it showed off the luxury SUV to the world.

Expected to make its debut next week, the 2018 Cayenne fought temperatures ranging from 122 degrees Fahrenheit to -49 degrees Celsius and everything in between. Whether on icy tundra or a blistering hot desert trail, the Cayenne covered 2.7 million miles to make sure it could handle whatever you might want to throw at it with ease.
